A 'good' education these days seems to be a real handicap to being anything actually useful. - Archived Message Posted by Rhisiart Gwilym on August 22, 2019, 9:21 am, in reply to "Re: Pandering puff piece on Maxwell" Inculcates a comically-bloated sense of enhanced entitlement to lots of good-life, together with an equally comical lack of any actually, genuinely useful input to bring to the table; thus usually ending up in useless sinecures - like writing for the Fraud for example. Or being a 'chief sustainability and strategy officer' for some fink tank. Or being a usually-'resting' thesp... Lot of such unproductive useless-eater drones about, amongst the modern Pampered Twenty Percent. I was steered that way myself by the social pressures operating in my youth. The capacity to make actually-useful inputs was acquired piecemeal later, largely by blundering trial and - lots of - error. But a practical, useful initial education? Hardly! Just relatively 'good' - for a pleb-child, anyway.
